Olivia's 4th Birthday - Party Time!!

We had Olivia's birthday party on June 10th (Sunday).  We had entirely too many people at our house, but it was actually very nice to see everyone and we had everything spread out enough where it didn't seem too crowded or crazy!  Just about everyone we invited came to celebrate her 4th birthday and she had a blast with her friends.

Here is a picture of Grandmom and Granddad with the grandkids (should have gotten a picture of my family - maybe next time!)

We rented a princess bouncy house for the party (it was actually cheaper to rent one than to rent the room at the bouncy place like we did last year.  This way we also got it for half the day instead of 1 1/2 hours - pretty good deal!)  All the kids LOVED it!!

And, of course, I had to make a big beautiful cake for my little princess!  (Mom helped with the castle construction! - thanks mom!)  We made her a big beautiful castle and 3 little princesses (the top part is the actual plastic doll and the skirt is cake.  The entire outfit is fondant.)  Here are the pictures of the cakes - I think they turned out really well:

Snow White

Cinderella

Sleeping Beauty

Belle

Here are some pictures of the kids jumping inside the bouncy house (courtesy of my great friend, Jenn - thanks so much for helping take pictures!!)

Olivia and Reese being buddies!

Here's a nice family photo right before it was time for singing and cake:

Singing to the birthday girl!

 Of course we had to put the candles with Snow White (her favorite!!):

Even Ms. Angie and Ms. Mur Mur came:

Poor Snow White!!!!  (a little cannibalistic, isn't it??)

Here are some pictures of the swing set with all the party goers on it.  It got a lot of action that day!

Here is Grandmom swinging with Olivia and Drew.  We basically had to pry them off the swing set - they were having so much fun out there long after everyone else left!

Here's Olivia climbing the rock wall on the side of the swing set:

We had one more surprise that day - my great friend, Thuy, from high school came up for the night because she had a test in Raleigh the next morning.  She even did our nails.  Here's Olivia's daisies on her thumbs that Thuy painted.  (I got daisies on my ring fingers - minus the bright pink polish!)

It was a VERY LONG day, but it was a lot of fun and a great party!  Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate, or sent their best wishes from afar!
